Europlanet is supported as a Research Infrastructure

Europlanet 2020 RI to;

• Provide access to on line tools and data through

• Virtual European Solar and Planetary Access (VESPA)

• Planetary Space Weather Services (PSWS)

VESPA http://voparis-europlanet.obspm.fr/EPN2020.html

VESPA – examples of benefits• Searching in a methane lake region of Titan, the user will be

able to retrieve the atmospheric conditions depending on season or altitudinal density and composition profiles

• looking for auroral images at Jupiter, the user will have also access to observations in the low frequency radio range, as well as thermospheric models, upstream solar wind or magnetospheric conditions;

• Characterising planetary/comet ices ,the user will also be able to get laboratory observations for various composition of ices.

Europlanet; The future;

• Join the project/consortium – open to all

labs/institutes in Europe (and beyond)

• Simple to join sign our MOU; Then eligible to join

Europlanet Board

• New projects Europlanet seeks to support/form --

COMPET 2017 – RISE 2017 (academic-industry) –

Training programmes – Science And Society.

• RISE two ‘planned, – Cube sats for space exploration

• Space mining

• COST actions and workshops planned for 2017

Compet call 2017 - we need a good (coordinated response)• COMPET-4-2017: Support the data exploitation of European missions and instruments,

in conjunction, when relevant, with international missions. This topic will cover the exploitation of all acquired and available data provided by space missions in their operative, post-operative or data exploitation phase focusing on:

• · astrophysics (including exoplanets),

• · heliophysics and

• · the Solar System exploration, including the Moon.

• Projects selected under this call may rely on the data available through all the available ESA Space Science Archives when possible or other means (e.g. instrumentation teams). Combination and correlation of this data with international scientific mission data, as well as with relevant data produced by ground-based infrastructures all over the world, is encouraged to further increase the scientific return and to enable new research activities using existing data sets. These activities shall add scientific value through analysis of the data, leading to scientific publications and higher level data products. When possible, enhanced data products should be suitable for feeding back into the ESA archives. Resulting analyses should help preparing future European and international missions. International cooperation is encouraged in particular with countries active in space exploration and science, or where their participation is deemed essential for carrying out the activities of this topic.

• Plans to explore as part of sustainability

• Individual Membership organization

• Distributed office structure - UK HQ but offices with

responsibilities for particular tasks;
